so jealous, mine was literally all trig :( and then some polynomial stuff which was wayyyy more complex than any of the math in focus polynomials. We had barely any exponential growth/decay, a few inequalities, and literally no calculus. Also like 1 question involving graphing inverse and absolute value functions of polynomials.
Trig is my weakest one (especially the identities) so I'd just fail that paper 😭 only had 2 rates qns and 2 inequalities too <\3

I'm just hoping I get a good mark for this paper, I feel like I messed up the perms and combs qns ;-;. But what's done is done so now I have to study for the rest of my exams

I actually despise the mx1 trig... we had soooo many "show" questions and it's so hard to judge whether your reasoning is actually valid or not sometimes :(

good luck!!!
It wasn’t too bad, a little easier than I was expecting. I don’t remember everything it included but there was a bit of everything. For a bit of a hint, make sure you know what an allotrope is ;)

honestly nothing was hard, you just had to know the content. Just make sure you know how to explain things. I was given a question where I was shown a parc, and needed to describe why the water level decreased using the transpiration-cohesion-tension theory (very ironic as in one of my previous messages i was mocking it). Basically you need to know what something is, what its used for, how it works, and a couple of examples of it working - so you can apply it to any given scenario.

Had my ex1 exam today 😰 Did minimal prep as I will be dropping the subject and needed to focus on mx1 which was also today. I managed to ramble on for 9 pages, though the question was really awkward and not what I anticipated. It was extremely vague and gave me nothing to work with, and didn't particularly correlate to the way in which the teacher has made us unpack the texts over the duration of the course. I also literally had no quotes and just made some stuff up :cool:

oh damn,,,, how was that?? i hate afternoon exams so much bc then i spend the whole morning freaking out
All my exams (except ex1) were morning exams!!! Chem was decent, not quite as difficult as I expected (my school's prelim chem papers have previously always been crazy difficult, so that was what I was expecting). I don't know how to judge how I went, I answered every question but it's hard to know if my answers were actually correct.......

Now I just have math advanced tomorrow morning, business on monday, and lastly bio on tuesday :)

Yeah I just finished my chem too. I tried every question but I'm not sure if I've used the right formulas for some of them lol.

Ugh same, and I have 3 afternoon exams. And if that isn’t bad enough, afternoon exams mean that the first 40 minutes is constant noise from the juniors outside having lunch and playing basketball, not fun :(

Don’t have any tips but I’m in the exact same boat for physics, focused way too hard on maths and now I’m facing the consequences 😭
